The Minnesota State Generative AI Guidance document provides comprehensive insights into the policy intersections, considerations, and recommendations related to the use of generative artificial intelligence within the Minnesota State system. This guidance addresses existing policies, such as Board Policy 3.26 on Intellectual Property, and explores the implications of generative AI outputs on intellectual property rights. It also highlights the current stance of the U.S. Copyright Office on generative AI outputs and their designation as public domain. Authored by Stephen M. Kelly and Mike R. Kutzke, this document serves as a foundational resource for understanding the governance and ethical considerations of generative AI in educational settings.
